A book co-written by a Charles Sturt University (CSU) academic argues the need for long-term reforms to the ways in which schools address the learning needs of students currently not well served by the education system. Dr Dominic O’Sullivan, senior lecturer in political science at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at CSU in Bathurst, says his book, Scaling up Education Reform: Addressing the Politics of Disparity, probes fundamental questions such as: What is school reform?; What makes it sustainable?; Who needs to be involved?; How is scaling up achieved? Dr O’Sullivan said, “Using New Zealand’s Te Kotahitanga Project as a model, my co-authors and I sought to uncover how an educational reform can become both extendable and sustainable to improve long term educational outcomes for all students. Our model can be applied to a variety of levels in education: in the classroom, in schools and system-wide.”
